Fall  2008 Registration Announcement for New Students  in the New Brunswick                            

Graduate Professional Schools of Rutgers University

Degree Students

 Please consult with your adviser to discuss your program of studies and your initial registration.  You may register at our website, https://registrar.rutgers.edu,  using  WEBREG.

 Nondegree Students

  Nondegree students should consult with the department(s) in which they wish to take courses.  Nondegree students in the School of Management and Labor Relations  and those taking courses in  the department of Communication and Information Studies  will need to secure a special permission number from the department for each course they wish to take in their school of admission, which must be used with the registration index number in the registration process.  Registration may be conducted as above.

 All Students

 You may register via WEBREG  at our website, https://registrar.rutgers.edu, until August 29.  You may also register in person at the Registrar’s Office at the above address.  You may register on receipt of this notice, but no later than the end of the first week of classes.   Registration, whether conducted on our website or in person requires use of your RUID and PAC  (initially the mmdd of  your birth date.)  Courses are identified by a five-digit  registration index number, in addition to the course number.  It is the registration index number that is used in registration.  Closed courses and courses that require departmental permission require a special permission number in addition to the registration index number.  The department offering the course controls distribution of special permission numbers.

 The Schedule of Classes can be found at our website.  Maps to campus and  classrooms are also available there.  The schedule is not available on paper.

 Credit hour prefixes:  WEBREG will offer you the option of registering with a credit hour prefix.  Prefixes are required for undergraduate courses, to clarify their relevance to your program, but are not used with  graduate courses.  Prefixes are as follows:  E - Course does not count in average or toward degree; G - 300-400 level undergraduate course taken for credit toward current graduate degree program—not applicable for nondegree students; N - course taken not-for-credit (audit), S or U grade, no final exam, course appears on transcript.  Note:  the system will automatically assign the appropriate prefix for nondegree students.

 NETWORK ID:  University policy requires all students and employees to establish a Network ID (NET ID).  A NET ID is required for on line address updates, PAC number changes, viewing transcripts and grades, establishing email and computer accounts, on line bill payment,  as well as accessing other services .  If you have formally accepted admission, or are registered for a course once the semester has begun, you may establish  your NET ID by visiting this web site:  https://identiyservices.rutgers.edu/netidquery.  Once you have established a NET ID you are encouraged to create your personalized portal to University services and information, MyRutgers, at http://my.rutgers.edu/portal/.

 
ID CARDS: Information regarding student identification cards can be provided by the RuConnection Office. (website:  www.rci.rutgers.edu/~ruconxn). Phone: 732 445 6949.

 
Term  bills will be sent to your address of record upon registration.  Students registering in person near the registration deadline will be asked to pay at that time.
